    A friend of mine had a picture from 1945 of a guy holding up a stinger of walleyes on Rainy Lake. He was wondering what the limit for walleye was back then. It was 8 per day and 12 in possession (see attached file). I think it is interesting that it only took 3 pages to cover all the regs. Simpler times.

    Be nice if they would go back to easier regs while lowering the limit by at least half

    Fishberry’s. Who knew? (besides Herb)

    Uses
    Its crushed seeds are an effective pediculicide (anti-lice) and are also traditionally used to stun fish or as a pesticide.[1][4] In pharmacology, it is known as Cocculus Indicus.

    Although poisonous, hard multum is a preparation made from Cocculus Indicus, etc., once used (by 19th century brewers)[5] to impart a more intoxicating quality (“giddiness”) to beer than provided by the alcoholic content alone.[6][7] Charles Dickens referred to those engaging in such practices as “brewers and beer-sellers of low degree,… who do not understand the wholesome policy of selling wholesome beverage.”[8] Although appearing in many homeopathic volumes and at least two brewers’ guides, the use of such preparations was outlawed in England, during the mid-19th century, with fines of £500 for sale and £200 for use of the drug.[7]

    The wood of the plant is used for fuel and carving.[1]
